ScottyB 2,086 Posted October 19, 2015 Author Share Posted October 19, 2015 Pretty sure everything is locked to the PSN account. If it wasn't, then that would be an easy way to change, especially since it's really the only game I play. So you would lose all your game save data, trophies, any online character progression etc As has been discussed, there are pros and cons to letting people change their ID, but I think it is long overdue and hopefully they'll implement something soon. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/5835-changing-psn-id/page/2/#findComment-116009 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squirrel 5,180 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 It's a shame we can't consolidate any existing PSN accounts into a single one. I have a few as the PS3 was limited to 100 friends so I ended up using different accounts for different games. I can prove that I own all the accounts but I keep forgetting the login details for each one when signing in.

DavidCore89 7,404 Posted October 19, 2015 Share Posted October 19, 2015 I like the fact that accounts can't be merged or consolidated. It'd open us all up to vulnerabilities and many PSN accounts could be easily compromised. I'd be pretty pissed if over £200 worth of games were suddenly on another persons account.

Xyon14 2,312 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I would take that opportunity in a second ... That way the real Jumbo67 wouldn't be moaning in my ear about how I stole his account .... How was I supposed to know that I would love the game? Anyway I am Xyon and I would love to change the name on the account Quote Crew Policies and Vetting Procedure Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/5835-changing-psn-id/page/2/#findComment-118303 Share on other sites More sharing options...
FRMJ1 130 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Yeah for obvious reasons I'd like to change mine, my PSN wasn't setup with online gaming in mind. However it's been quite funny hearing people trying to pronounce my name (until they realised Jay would do just fine). When I switch to PS4 I'll probably set a separate account up for my Son, that way people won't think it's me who's the Minecraft addict!

Anyway I am Xyon and I would love to change the name on the account You could start a new account and just use the Jumbo for current games and Xyon for gta6 Quote The funniest thing about this particular signature is that by the time you realise it doesn't say anything it's to late to stop reading it.

Xyon14 2,312 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 You could start a new account and just use the Jumbo for current games and Xyon for gta6 Well ... Its a battle that I won to be fair... the account is now mine (I am winningest ), he has opened a new ps account because I wouldn't budge with all the work in my new character. He put up a good fight, and when he wants to see his cars in the GT garage, he can visit them anytime (between 2-8 am GMT) 1 Quote Crew Policies and Vetting Procedure Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/5835-changing-psn-id/page/2/#findComment-118355 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LN-MLB 2,583 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I really hope they open this up soon. If it happens, I'm going to change mine--either slightly or significantly. It sounds kind of silly when people try to say my entire user name. I think I may pick something like L-Muthafukin-N to clear up any confusion on what I want to be called. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/5835-changing-psn-id/page/2/#findComment-118457 Share on other sites More sharing options...

CandyRotten 161 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I would love to. At the time of making my ID I took inspiration from The Living Dead Dolls, I couldn't decide between CandyRotten and ToxicMolly. I went with CandyRotten, which I now regret as whenever someone calls me, I sound like a really weird stripper. I would change it to some form of my real name. I did try that at first but I everything I tried was taken 3 Quote Quote "It doesn't matter how you find the pot of gold B to the Rian, all that matters is you beat the leprechauns" - Stewie Griffin Link to comment https://www.rockstarsocialclub.net/forums/topic/5835-changing-psn-id/page/2/#findComment-118463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
wraignbow 719 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 I would keep it similar.

lIIlCompleXlIIl 563 Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Mine would be an easy change for all of you. to rename lIIlComplexlIIl to something not important, then rename locsta815 to lIIlComplexlIIl, and use my old account again!

Garbology101 77 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 I really didn't mind & have got quite used to being 'Garb', until last night in free roam where I must have pissed someone off and they were calling me 'Garbage Boy' - now I want to change it ASAP.

Still not sure what it would be, but it would change. Might just go to Dodge and a random number. Or my nickname at work is Bulldog. My wife calls me asshole. My kid calls me a jerk. I guess any of those would work.
